<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 And in there the native of Africa, the native of those nations, you can come and talk to them about the Bible, they'll laugh in your face. But let a man who's standing totally crippled or blind rise up in the power of the Lord, let the Holy Spirit after teaching the Bible, stand and do something that just startles them; every person on the ground will fall to his knees and give glory to God.
Where we American people, wonder, and we're full of wonder and so forth. I'm not meaning Kentuckians down in here; I don't believe you're that way. See? And I--I--I believe that around the big cities where we have so many things, but out in these small towns you usually find a humble hearted bunch of people. And if I know anything about spirit, I'm standing in the midst of that people tonight. I don't say that just to be saying, because I--I don't believe in doing that. I believe in telling the truth. You must if you're going to face God and face the enemy; you must be sincere.

L-9 Now, many people can open up this Word like this, but it takes the Holy Spirit to interpret the Word. Don't you think so? See? We can pull back the pages, but it takes God, the Holy Spirit, to reveal it. The Bible is a mysterious hidden book. And there's no need of trying to learn it by education; it doesn't come that way. The Bible plain--plainly says... God said, "I have hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent and will reveal it to babes such as will learn."
The Bible is not a western Book; It's a eastern Book. And a few trips across the sea will let you become more acquainted of the customs of what the Bible and the things... It's a new book to you when you once live with the Jewish people and where the Bible was written, and in the oriental types.

L-10 Now, tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, or two-thirty, I'm to be on the platform, I think, to start preaching. The song service begin about two, is that right, Brother Neville? And after all, some of you people here, Brother Neville happens to be a Methodist preacher out of, I believe from Asbury, wasn't that right, Brother? From Asbury College. How many ever heard of Asbury College? Oh, my, that's a wonderful place. It's right across, out of my back yard. So it's a marvelous place. Wish I lived close enough to it to send my children there as they grow up. Mar... And in Africa and all around I met your missionaries.
I met a little--some little boys and girls one day down there was missionaries; they said, "Oh, you speak English?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "Are you American?"
I said, "Sure." I said, "Where you from?"
Said, "Kentucky." I said,
"Well, brother, how do you do?" It just seemed so good. I said, "If you just say, 'It--it hain't nothing to...'" I said, "I'd really know you was from Kentucky. That's right, if you just use it that way." But they were very fine children. And they were from Asbury College.

L-11 Now, tomorrow afternoon is a Gospel message. Bring your unsaved (will you?) and come out, and let's just pray that God will give us a great outpouring of His blessings. Tomorrow at two-thirty I will be at the platform so you can get away early. And tomorrow night is another message from the Bible and a prayer service and the closing of the little campaign.
Now, let us, just a moment, bow our heads and ask Him if He will come and open the Word to us. Will you do that with me while we bow.
